Moktada al-Sadr

seeks a leader with whom Americans can work, and ignores the need for a leader acceptable to the Iraqis. Moktada al-Sadr still needs to be charged and tried in the murder of his rival Abdul Majidal-Khoei in the wake of our invasion. As long as the Iraqi government treats him as untouchable, it will be viewed by Iraq's Shiite majority as weak and pliable, and byIraq's Kurds and Sunnis as an untrustworthy tool. As long as the U.S.persists in trying to foist such a leadership on the Iraqis, we perpetuate strife, misery and death in Iraq.
